Chapter 173 "Ghosts" premieres
December 2.
The much-anticipated "Goblin" will be released on TVN on time at 8 o'clock that night.
After the crew finished filming the scene for the day, Jin Qixuan was invited to drive to Jin Shaoyu's house to watch the premiere of "Goblin" together.
According to tradition, the premieres of TV series starring Jin Qixuan are usually watched at his grandmother's house.
But...the older generation really can't watch TV dramas with themes like "Goblin". They seem to prefer family ethics dramas to this...
Therefore, Jin Shaoyou invited Jin Qixuan to come to his home to watch it, and he could also listen to the spoilers.
As soon as Jin Qixuan entered the house, he saw the cat fostered by Kim Hannah confronting the dog raised by Jin Shaoyu at a high place.
When they heard the movement, the two little ones looked at Jin Qixuan simultaneously.
Then, the puppy's tail shook like a propeller, and it jumped towards Jin Qixuan.
Jin Qixuan changed his shoes, picked up the dog, came to the sofa and sat on the edge.
“You haven’t eaten yet? The kitchen has made kimbap and miso soup for you.”
"Oh, okay."
Putting the dog on the ground, Jin Qixuan went to the kitchen to put the food on the coffee table, and chatted with Jin Shaoyou while eating:
"Yeah~ delicious! I’m so virtuous, but I don’t know which brat I’ll take advantage of in the future.”
"Don't tell me, I have made a few friends recently, but after they found out that my uncle is Kim Jong Kook, the relationship has no tendency to develop further..."
Jin Shaoyou hugged me The dog wanted to eat Jin Qixuan fed it seaweed rice, and he touched its head depressedly.
“Oh? Are you an artist?”
"Yeah."
"No wonder, I probably wanted to play with you, but I was afraid that my uncle would cause trouble for them, so I backed down."
Looking at her instantly depressed look, Jin Qixuan After thinking for a while he said:
"How about I introduce you to a boyfriend?"
There were only a few people around Jin Qixuan. Jin Shaoyu thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and asked: "Is it Park Bo Gum?"
< br>"The sword is not for you."
Jin Qixuan shook his head, took out his mobile phone, found a photo, handed it to her and said:
"My mentor's son, if you are interested, I will introduce it to you."
Jin Shao He glanced at the photo and pursed his lips:
"You look average."
Jin Qixuan gave her an example:
"You can't control your appearance. When looking for a husband, you can't just look at your face, you have to look at the inside. You are in the music industry. , you should know the couple living a magical life in Jeju Island right now, right?”
"Are you talking about Lee Hyori-senpai and Lee Sang-soon-senpai?"
"Yes."
"Hey Yigu, when they got married I had just debuted, and my uncle wanted to show me his face. He took me to the wedding. At that time, I was thinking why Hyori-senpai would marry him if he was so beautiful..."
"Have you figured it out now?"
"No."
Jin Shaoyou shook his head.
Jin Qixuan: "..."
Fortunately, the TV commercial has finished playing at this time, and the two of them are no longer chatting, focusing on the TV broadcast.
At the beginning of the scene, Jin Xin was wielding his sword and fighting among the rebels.
Regardless of the soundtrack, shots, and color composition, it makes people feel a strong sense of history.
Then the camera turned.
The scene of Jin Xin returning from victory, the people kowtow and shout long live, and then enters the palace and is killed.
Seeing that Jin Xin was dead, Jin Shaoyou was dissatisfied and punched Jin Qixuan:
"Ah! You are a loyal and treacherous king! The country of Goryeo was destroyed because of you!"
The clips of Jin Qixuan defending Jin Xin at the court meeting and the memories of his life were not played, so the audience looked at Jin Xin's perspective and found that Jin Qixuan was indeed quite hateful.
Regarding the drama fan Jin Shaoyu's random accusation, Jin Qixuan said lightly:
"If I didn't kill him, the magic drama would become a historical drama, and ghosts would naturally not be born. He should thank me for giving him Give him a second life."
"Oh..."
Hearing Jin Qixuan's explanation, Jin Shaoyou lost a lot of anger and continued to concentrate on watching the drama.
The screen continued to play, and at this time, Jin Qixuan's cell phone rang.
I picked it up and saw that it was an inquiry sent by Li Zhien to Jin Qixuan on Kakaotalk:
[Why did you kill Jin Xin? 】
Jin Qixuan typed and explained:
[I am a puppet emperor with no real power. If Jin Xin is not killed that day, Park Zhongyuan will send me away with a bowl of poisonous decoction in the evening. It would be better for me to betray Jin Xin than for Jin Xin to betray me~】
Li Zhien: [Hunjun! ! ! (Staring jpg.)]
Remembering Li Zhien’s expression at this time, Jin Qixuan burst into laughter and continued to explain as he typed:
[Actually, that butterfly is also me. In a way, he should thank me for giving him a new life. 】
Li Zhien: [Butterfly? What is Butterfly's identity? God? (Curious jpg.)]
[The answer is in the play, watch it carefully! 】
Then, Jin Qixuan put down his phone and continued watching the show.
After watching the TV twice, Jin Qixuan suddenly thought of something, picked up his phone and sent a message to Li Zhien and asked:
[You didn't go to MAMA tonight? 】
Li Zhien: [Thank you for paying attention to me, but I have no new album this year. 】
Jin Qixuan: [Sorry...]
Jin Qixuan put down his mobile phone and continued watching TV.
When Jin Xin was still a human, he was a god in the hearts of the people, an invincible iron-blooded general.
He fought bloody battles for the country and returned with honor, but was unable to withstand the suspicion and alienation between the monarch and his ministers.
In the end, he did not die in the hands of his enemies, but in the hands of the king he protected. He was framed by a traitor for no reason and was thrown into the wilderness.
Pierced through the heart by a sword stained with the enemy's blood, Wuli Jinxin ended his tragic life as a human being.
The end of life as a human being is the beginning of life as a ghost.
He has the reward of endless life and eternal reincarnation, but at the same time he has to accept the punishment of being alone and having a sword thrust into his heart. As the saying goes, the lonely and brilliant god-ghost.
It can be seen that the only bug in the infinite power of Jin Xin is the sword on his body, and the only person who can pull out the sword is the "Ghost Bride".
When this sword is pulled out, Jin Xin will also be wiped out and rest in peace.
With the flag set to this level, we can finally summon our heroine.
The story begins again with the year Eun Tak was born, yes, that was his birth.
Eun-joo, who was supposed to be stillborn, was moved by the kind-hearted Jin Xin because of her mother's sincere plea for help. With the help of Jin Xin's magical power, her fate was forcibly changed.
So, she had the ability to see ghosts from birth.
Since her mother died on her ninth birthday, she no longer believes in the myth that birthday wishes can come true by blowing out candles. However, life is difficult, and you won’t die if you blow out the candles. Maybe your wishes will come true~
"I want a part-time job, I want...the most important thing is to find a boyfriend!" (The urgent need of singles for ten thousand years 233333~)
Then, after Eun-joo blew out the candle on the phone, the ghost Just like Aladdin's magic lamp, you can summon it anytime and anywhere just by blowing out the sparks!
(Electronic ones are fine too, we ghosts are very up to date with the times~)
From then on, our Eun-joo started the shameless, forcible flirtation mode, which is weird and exciting.
First meeting.
"Forcing flowers"
The reason is very fresh and refined. It's my birthday and it's my oldest birthday. A grown man is not worthy of flowers!
However, the flower language of buckwheat flowers is "lover".
There was a hint of ambiguity in the air~
The second meeting.
"I am Tinker Bell, have you fallen in love with me?"
Ghost: I believed your evil deeds!
The third meeting was amazing!
"You are a ghost, and I am the ghost bride! No matter where you go, I will follow you!"
Just follow it and you will be transported to Canada!
The ghost looked shocked: How could you follow me? !
Eun Tak’s surprised face: Ah~ It’s so exciting to go abroad!
Now that he has discovered that the ghost has such magical power, Eun Tak, who could be sent away with 5 million in the past, can no longer do so.
Therefore, Eun-joo said with a girlish look on her face:
"I have decided! I want to marry you!!"
Then, En Zhuo launched an offensive of love words to the ghost.
After more than nine hundred years, the ghosts who have been accustomed to life and death are now like old dead vines suddenly experiencing spring~
The entire episode transitions from "How did Kim Shin become a ghost" to "Why did Eun-joo become a ghost?" "It's the Ghost Bride", the story style has gradually changed from solemn and sad to fresh and interesting.
But at the same time, a dilemma is buried:
The male protagonist has been waiting for a hundred years, and finally waited for the ghost bride who can end his eternal life, but when faced with this girl who can take away his life, should he escape or escape? Welcome with an open heart?
In addition to the male and female protagonists, there is also the ruthless hell messenger Li Dongxu and Kong Liugang who formed a "mutual censorship" after they met.
Kong Liu: The taste is so vulgar!
Li Dongxu: Ah ~ so wronged ~
Although they can't stand each other, they still have to live under the same roof...
And our Jin Qixuan, in addition to the king who made the fans of the drama hate them with itch at the beginning, plays the role of Dehua, who is flirting with girls, and passes by the three gods on the bridge. The two of them meet in red and blue costumes. , very cp feeling.
In the first episode, Sunny, played by Yoo In Na, who relies on her beauty to defraud money, has not yet appeared.
However, in the ending trailer, it was revealed that Sunny is the person who makes Lee Dong-wook, the regional messenger who has lost his memory, feel excited.
Overall, the 90-minute plot of the first episode did not feel lengthy or procrastinating. The tone of the story was tragic and funny, and it also laid out many exciting clues.
The premiere is over, and the comments online are overwhelming.
"I really like the title of this drama, it has a cold yet warm literary and zombie feel"
"The first episode was above expectations. The picture quality is great and the plot progresses quickly without any delay. Gong Yoo, Lee Dong Wook, Kim Go Eun, and Kim Ki Hyun are all highlights. The follow-up is worth looking forward to."
"Funny and tear-jerking, the male protagonist The second male lead has a sweet CP feel, another masterpiece with a super power theme, and the shipwreck special effects are absolutely movie-level. The new male god Jin Qixuan's fashion show is the first choice for licking the screen. It is far more beautiful than the blue sea."
"Kim Go Eun He. Gong Liu has a sense of CP, especially when the two passed each other, their eyes intertwined, and I look forward to the subsequent development of the plot by Kim."
"How can Lee Dong Wook remain as handsome as ever for more than ten years? The screen was licked to bits in the first episode. I feel sorry for my computer. I hope Daebak will continue in the future!"
"Jin Qixuan plays two Daebak characters!"
"What is the identity of the woman in red who disguised herself as an old lady and stayed with Eun-joo?"
"Agassi, that brat lurking next to you is that stupid king, kill him quickly!!!"
"As the messenger of hell, will Lee Dong-wook take Eun-joo's life by force?"
"What is the story between Yoo In Na and Lee Dong Wook? Isn't that ring worn on Kim Yoo Jung's hand?"
...
The next day, the ratings for the premiere of "Goblin" were announced.
Just reading the comments, I know that the high ratings are completely within expectations.
While blocking the MAMA Music Awards last night, it also broke the first episode ratings record set by "Reply 1988", setting a record for TVN's highest premiere ratings in the past with an average of 6.9% and a maximum of 9.3%.
And "Goblin" has also received unanimous praise on Naver.
What’s even more rare is that "Goblin" became the first Korean drama to be introduced after Hua County Magistrate. It also received a sky-high score of 9.5 on Douban, almost all of which are recommended with five stars.
In terms of cast and plot development, it has achieved the premiere effect of "both reputation and ratings, and good looks and acting skills". The first episode gave the audience the feeling of "no matter what, they will definitely catch up to the end."
On that night, the second episode aired increased by 1.4 percentage points compared with the first episode, reaching a national average of 8.3%, once again setting a new record for the same episode (the second episode of "Reply 1988" is 7.4%).
You must know that the ratings of "Reply 1988", which surpasses the mainstay of TVN, are a boost for both the actors and the crew. Setting off firecrackers to celebrate is considered calm. .
However, when Jin Qixuan received text messages of congratulations from his friends, he did not have any major emotional fluctuations.
Because he acted in both dramas, what's the point of bragging about breaking his own record~
In the following days, "Goblin" not only continued to set new highs for tvN in terms of ratings, In terms of topics, the drama also overwhelmingly occupied the top TV topic spot in the fifth week of November.
At the same time, several leading actors in the drama, Kong Yoo, Lee Dong-wook, Kim Go-eun, and Kim Kye-hyun, also took the top four TV topical figures from November 28 to December 4, achieving the AllKill topic list.
In addition to the topic, the first OstPart.1 released by "Ghost" - "StayWithMe" and OstPart.2 - "Only in My Eyes" successively occupied the first and second positions in music software such as Melon.
To put it simply, "Goblin" has become a phenomenon today in an impeccable manner.
Its popularity completely surpassed "Reply 1988" at this time last year.
In terms of word-of-mouth, tvN’s golden signature that its products must be high-quality has been verified once again.
The 90-minute first and second episodes did not make the audience tired at all. On the contrary, the high production and completion level comparable to movies left people unsatisfied.
When all the actors reunited on the set, each other's faces were filled with happy smiles.
After Kong Liu was cheated by "Big" earlier, he stopped appearing in TV dramas and has been in the film industry.
After the premiere of "Goblin" was so well-received, Jin Qixuan could clearly see that Gong Liu seemed to have let go of the constant pressure, and his acting became more and more smooth.
As a result, he performed more and more improvisations to sublimate the script.
As the crew of "Ghost" is filming in an orderly manner, in mid-December, the promotion of "Brave Citizen", the first movie starring Jin Qixuan, began.
As a result, Jin Qixuan had to start a tiring life of promoting during the day and filming at night.
